Well here’s a bit of a “must read” for everyone… Courtland Milloy in the Washington Post: Now that the presidential campaign season has begun, it’s okay for President Obama to openly court black people again. He even used the b-word recently.
“Pass this jobs bill,” Obama said at the Congressional Black Caucus annual awards dinner Saturday, “and every small-business owner in America, including 100,000 black-owned businesses, will get a tax cut.” An electrified audience bolted to its feet in applause. The nation’s first black president had actually said “black.”

Courtland Milloy in the Washington Post: “Shake it off. Stop complaining, stop grumbling, stop crying,” Obama preached during his dinner speech. “We are going to press on. We’ve got work to do, CBC.” Funny, isn’t it, how Obama always gets the nerve to say shut up when he’s addressing a friendly audience?
The unemployment rate among blacks stands at 16.7 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, up from 11.5 percent when Obama took office. By some accounts, black people have lost more wealth since the recession began than at any time since slavery. And Obama gets to lecture us?
Kudos to u Ms. Burke..
i thought this (CBC GALA) was some of your BEST work…
